I'm doing a silent install using Firefox 3.6.9. Using the command firefox setup 3.6.9.exe /INI=\pathtoini\firefox.ini

This should silently deploys to a d:\program files\Mozilla\Firefox.. We were using this on firefox 3.6.8 and it was working no when we run it with 3.6.9 it does not auto deploy silently. Once I run it it give me the "Welcome to Mozilla Firefox" message and asks me to click Next.

FWIW I've got the same problem. Tried many different ways of altering the syntax, putting it in quotes, with and without the trailing backslash, etc. Still mindlessly installs to the c: drive. 5 months and nobody's come up with a solution? Hard to believe FF expects to be take seriously on large company platforms if you can't even choose the install drive. With Windows installer it's as easy as ROOTDRIVE=D:\ at the command line. come on mozilla get it together! For that matter why not use an MSI for WINDOWS installations for petes sake, it's windows standard

FrontMotion has been providing MSI installer packages for Firefox since before Firefox 1.0 was released. I have seen other MSI packages offered over the years (there was one that was available at SourceForge), but FrontMotion seems to be the only one that has been around for many years and is kept up to date.

There is a Bug about Mozilla providing an MSI package that was filed over 7 years ago - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=231062 - and other than this Wiki page - https://wiki.mozilla.org/MSI - that's about all I can find about it. There is also an unresolved Bug - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=267888 - related to Group Policies and the Active Directory.
